Best Goals-Against Average in an NLL Season (2002-2023)

It was odd that the NLL put out a media guide (hint, hint), it didn't have a record for goals-against average in a season. Happily, I can come close to providing one.

To quality for my list, a goalie has to play half of the possible minutes to quality. Since all teams didn't play the same number of game, I had to figure that out for each player. Here's what we have so far, dating back to 2002; two names from 2022-23 cracked the top 20:

Name - Team - Year - GAA
Aaron Bold - Edmonton - 2014 - 8.73
Doug Jamieson - New England - 2019-20 - 8.80
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2022-23 - 9.03
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2021-22 - 9.05
Evan Kirk - Saskatchewan - 2019-20 - 9.26

Christian Del Bianco - Calgary - 2022-23 - 9.28
Bob Watson - Toronto - 2010 - 9.31
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2019-20 - 9.41
Aaron Bold - Edmonton - 2015 - 9.44
Zach Higgins - Philadelphia - 2019-20 - 9.44

Anthony Cosmo - Boston - 2010 - 9.50
Matt Vinc - Orlando - 2010 - 9.51
Matt Vinc - Rochester - 2014 - 9.56
Ken Montour - Buffalo - 2009 - 9.57
Matt Vinc - Rochester - 2015 - 9.62

Dillon Ward - Colorado - 2019-20 - 9.62
Warren Hill - Halifax - 2019-20 - 9.65
Anthony Cosmo - Boston - 2011 - 9.66
Mike Thompson - Buffalo - 2011 - 9.67
Matt Vinc - Rochester - 2011 - 9.77
